How do you feel about the trend developing of more aggressive searches at airport screenings? If they ask you to strip down to your private parts to have them searched (often in view of other passengers), would you consent?

I wonder if they will stop search on me when I pee on them during strip searching? that would teach them a lesson!

Well, I will make sure I wear my mother's underwear that way it would be a turn off for them and my private part would never reveal.

This shit is definitely getting out of hand. I mean, I’m all for national security as much as the next guy, but the level of paranoia is starting to get ridiculous. Mrs. Chimp had to go through LAX in October with a ten year old quadriplegic girl. The fun started when she tried to tell them that she couldn’t go through the x-ray machine because she had a magnet in her head. Turns out that these dingleberries have absolutely no idea what a cochlear implant is. So she had to stand there for 20 minutes while they called the supervisor. Meanwhile, Mayflower is holding out her body processor and BTE for them to inspect, and the card that the Cochlear Corporation gave her which identifies her as a CI recipient. They were turning the card over and over again, looking at it as if it were an artifact from an alien civilization. They finally had her take off her shoes and they did her over with hand wand and a hand body search. But these rocket scientists never even took a look at the body processor. Mayflower could have tucked a quarter pound of plastic explosives in the processor and they never would have known it.

Then they started on the ten year old quadriplegic girl. They leaned her forward in her wheelchair and ran the hand wand down her back and did a pat search on her, too. Then they ran a chemical test to make sure that she hadn’t been recently working with chemical explosives. This is all in the name of national security, mind you. We have to keep the nation safe from little crippled children with an agenda.

Fly Free

i agree with u Levonian -- it HAS gone TOO FAR!!!!!!!! to the TSA -- im also all for national security but damn i will NOT fly the "friendly" skies if i know i could be strip searched -- its insane! and it IS a rape of personal privacy and being treated like a criminal and in a public area where everybody else can view a person being stripped qq thats a NEWEST low of the TSA to date

Vance

I think it will get worser in the future.

Fly Free

yea i agree Magatsu -- i prefer driving now a days over flying -- i still have my privacy and dignity intact while driving and the worst i can get is get pulled over by a cop and get a speeding ticket (knock wood it doesnt happen ) and a possibiity of being asked permission to search my car to which i would have approved -- its loads better than being strip searched in a public area where personal privacy would have been violated like what has happened at Reagan National!
